Introduction: The research topic is the correlation between environmental factors and the use of psychotropic drugs among nurses. The use of psychotropic drugs is a public health issue that is difficult to solve given the complexity, severity and diversity of the problems that arise from it, i.e., social, psychological, economic, and political losses, and it negatively affects the family and social life of those who use them. Objective: environmental factors and the use of psychotropic drugs among nurses and technicians. The paper will also determine the difference in psychotropic drug consumption among nurses and technicians with respect to age, examine the difference in psychotropic drug consumption among nurses and technicians with respect to years of service, and examine the difference in psychotropic drug consumption among nurses and technicians with respect to the atmosphere of teamwork in the work environment. Methods: An online survey was conducted via Google Forms in April 2023. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts: sociodemographic characteristics, frequency of taking psychotropic drugs and work environment factors. The results are presented using descriptive statistics, tables and charts. Three independent variables (age, years of service, work environment) and one dependent variable (psychotropic drugs) were analyzed. The dependent variable is on a ratio scale, and the independent variables are on a nominal scale. Differences between the variables were tested using a t-test with p<0.05. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS. Results: drugs than those younger than 40 years. Nurses and technicians with more than 10 years of work experience use more psychotropic drugs than those with less than 10 years of work experience. The results indicate a significant presence of psychotropic drug use among respondents, with moderate satisfaction with the work environment and interpersonal relationships. Conclusion: It is recommended to implement preventive programs targeting older nurses/technicians, to reduce their tendency to use psychotropic drugs. It is necessary to work on improving the work environment by strengthening the sense of community, teamwork, and mutual support among staff, which could reduce the tendency to use psychotropic drugs. It is crucial to focus on older employees and improving interpersonal relationships and culture in the workplace, to prevent excessive use of psychotropic drugs.
